Didnt mean to sound like i was having a go!!

Just a few things i was confused about thats all :rofl:

You didn't offend mate sorry just real tired and cranky from the weekend.

I guess that this turbo is probaly more efficient at higher boost levels and needs to be boosted high to get the big power.

All I know is when it runs 20 psi the power difference is huge. That kick you back in the seat feeling is nuts.

why its so laggy I'm not so sure other than the fact its a normal sleeve bearing turbo from what I can gather.

Sure it wouldnt be helping, but i wouldnt attribute too much blame to the fact that its a plain bearing turbo. Have you got a part number etc so i can have a look at the spec of turbo?

What are all the details of the mods, exhaust brand diam, qty of mufflers, cat converter, air filter, piping, BOV, intercooler etc, pic of the engine bay????

It could be a support system drama more then the turbo beign too big, or laggy in its nature.

IS the turbo a T3 flange or are you using an adaptor to bolt it onto the std manifold, is it the std manifold???

LOL..sorry about all the questions, but i like mulling over these sorts of setup/problems/performance differences:)

The turbo is from UAS and has a 0.48 rear housing.

As for the front a/r I have no idea and I'm not sure about a part number. (Sorry I aint much help there).

Its a T3 flange that has an adapter plate made up to allow it to have an internal gate and to bolt onto the skyline dump.

--------------------------------------My mods include-----------------------------------

Trust BOV------------->Replaces the stock one and can be plumbed back if needed.

Blitz intercooler------> 600 by 300 by 76mm

ECU--------------------> Remapped to run 550 cc injectors and a z32 AFM(My personal tune on the conservative side)

Pipeing in the engine bay is stock and really should be replaced with bigger less restrictive pipeing.

Exaust is a 3 " turbo back system with a resonator, 3" cat, 5" ricey muffler :P

Injectors are 550cc pintop rx7 types.

AFM is a Z32.

Boch 040 intank fuel pump good for 600 hp I think.

I'll try and get some pics of the turbo and engine bay tonight if I can.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
